Regarding Nick's Cerebral Palsy, the biggest concern that we currently deal with is his nonexistent balance. Earlier, he was running to the bathroom sink to "wash" his money. (Yes, now Jeff has to take the plumbing apart because of a small fortune in coins that now rests in the bottom of the drain...) Anyway, he tripped at the end of the hall and hit his head on the air-conditioning return vent. He now has a big goose-egg and 2 scratches down his forehead.
There is not a day that goes by that he doesn't fall (literally) dozens of times. Normally, he falls "well" - meaning that he's learned to fall in such a way as to not cause too much harm. However, there are still times when something gets in the way and he gets hurt. Fortunately, he's a tough kid with a high pain tolerance! I just praise God that he hasn't been seriously injured...yet! Labels: Cerebral Palsy, Nick |
